If you're using a DE, I would let it to mount external devices 
automatically, that is, by commenting (#) the above line in /etc/fstab. 
Then, as soon as you attache the card it should be recognized, detected 
and mounted under /media.

Open a terminal, run "dmesg | tail" and then insert the card to see 
what's going on.
